About this concert
The Droptines are an alternative country band born in Concan, Texas.Establishedin 2019 by front man/songwriter/musician,Conner Arthur, also known as The King of Concan. This band puts in the work taking none of the traditional or convenient routes when crafting songs.Blending a multitude of genres,while tethering each song together with a specific vernacular native to the Texas Hill Country,results in a broad range of authentic, versatile melodies.Add Conners rich voice and layered lyrics,and you have storytelling at its finest. From biblical themes,raunchy truths, and primitive questions to ones existence, it is clear,Shakespeare has made his way to the trailer park.From the hard-hitting anthem New Girlto the heart wrenching melody As Your Heart Breaksto the opulent masterpiece Raining Where You Are, combined with adown to earthyet captivatingstagepresence,this bandtakes you on quite the ride. Once every decade or so someone comes along, takes the bar and sets it way higher than any of us could dream of. Conner is the new gold standard of songwriting. Hes witty, visceral and ties it all up withan unshakable knack for melody. Its an honor to be alive at the same time as this generational talent.-David BeckConners ability to write songs that meld raw emotion with detailed imagery is something I feel onlyfew songwriters have. His songs make you think long after youve stopped listening,and thecharactershe writes about live in your mind forever.-William BeckmannWhat is a Droptine you might ask?Its a rare downward pointingantler found on a white tail deer, theone to watch for,and a nod to the environment and upbringingof the group

Small Paul Biography
Sunshine and storm clouds converge at the core of Seattle’s harmony-heavy, Folky Rock and Roll band Small Paul.
Musically, Small Paul is a 4 headed collaborative effort that began fortuitously during the pandemic as a fusion of 4 musicians living in the same pod.
While originally bonding over the shared love of Wings, NRBQ sounding records and singing harmony together late into the night, Small Paul became an outlet and excuse to reckon and engage with each individual's own past and present struggles and to use music as an outlet to create light out of dark days. Their debut album reflects themes of rebirth and renewal, and pulling oneself into the light. While songs like, “A Midnight Sun”, “Miner for a Dream”, “Live Along” reflect hope for better days today and ahead — “Some Love”, “I Don’t Wanna Die”, and “Sinkin’ like a Stone (acoustic)” are opportunities to reflect on the past and grow, and let go. Then there are lighter upbeat songs like “Laugh it Off” and “Amber Light”, which are reminders to not take yourself so seriously all the time. Furthermore, a reminder to try and have a healthy acceptance and perception of the unpredictability of life.
Come Alive & Live Again is the debut album from Small Paul. Produced by Erik Blood (Shabazz palaces, Tacocat, Moondoggies) in the fall of 2022. This is an album that sounds best on a long drive over the mountains or to the ocean.
Born in and raised Seattleite Kevin Murphy (leader of The Moondoggies) shares drumming and guitar duties with California’s born and raised Chris King (leader of the Chris King & The Gutterballs). Chris brings bandmate and collaborator Malcolm Roberts into the fold on bass guitar and harmony and Seth McDonald to fill it out on keyboard and harmony (member of hip-hop band All Star Opera). These different perspectives all pulled together create the vibe that is Small Paul.
